• How much does it cost to hire Michail for a appellate case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Michail walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Michail offer a free consultation?

• How long do appellate cases in New York typically take?

  Simple appellate matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Michail gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Michail take my case if I'm outside Melville?

  Michail is licensed in New York. Matters governed by New York law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Michail will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Michail?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Michail will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Michail accepting new appellate clients right now?

  Michail's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
